The Unholy Man of the Warring States Period [Naruto]

Somewhere on the north shore, the land of the Uchiha clan.

As a well-known clan in the ninja world, its approximate location is known to everyone who cares. But you know, you know, whether you can go in is another question.

I heard that they migrated from the Kingdom of Thunder in the north in search of a better place to live. The Fire Country is located in the hinterland and the land is fertile, so it became their best choice.

But any place rich in resources is often where competition is fiercest.

In order to ensure their own safety, the ninjas who settled in the Land of Fire are very good at concealment or reconnaissance. And Uchiha is the best among them.

After passing through an indistinguishable path, the scenery in front of us suddenly became clear.

Izayoi looked up from below in amazement. Under the cover of trees and rocks, houses stood on the mountain.

Pretty!

This was her first impression of the Uchiha clan.

Since arriving in the Warring States Period, this was the first time she had seen a house design that was harmonious and beautiful both for herself and the surrounding landscape.

how to say? Warrior of love and beauty, Uchiha?

"We're here." Uchiha Kaura said, pointing to the rope ladder ahead. "You have to climb up by yourself and prove that you are capable of dealing with Uchiha directly."

Izayoi pulled up the rope ladder made of bamboo tubes. It was quite strong. So he nodded and agreed to Huopu's request.

A circle has its own rules. Despite their low status and being excluded for a long time, ninjas are quite closed-minded.

Huopu didn't use the rope ladder and ran up vertically on the mountain wall next to him. He wanted to inform the clan leader in advance that someone was coming and provide the observed results to Master Izuna for judgment. There is no getting up or down here, and there is no fear of this person running away. Glancing down, I saw that the rope ladder was rickety, and a figure hung on it and climbed up carefully step by step.

The wind on the cliff was very strong. Even though Izayoi held on to the rope ladder tightly, he was still shaken by the wind. Be very careful when stepping down. The bamboo tubes used as footrests have been exposed to the sun and rain and are so slippery that they cannot rest on your feet. Indirectly screen out a large number of unwelcome visitors.

It's harder to meet the evil-minded rabbit eyes than to meet the famous ones.

Izayoi gritted his teeth, gathered up the little chakra he had finally accumulated, and climbed to the platform halfway up the mountain with all his strength.

Huopu is worthy of being the elite among the elites. At this time, he has been notified and the leader has been waiting for a long time.

He stretched out a hand and lifted up Izayoi who was gasping for breath on the last step, helped him stand up, and reminded in a low voice: "This is the person in charge you are going to see. I hope what you said is true. , otherwise the consequences would be very serious.”

Izayoi held her knees and took a breath before straightening up. She looked up and immediately gave a business smile.

"You are definitely not lying. There is indeed a big deal. But whether it is suitable or not requires unanimous approval from both the buyer and the seller. Only in this way can we cooperate with peace of mind, right?"

cooperate? First, you must have the ability to cooperate with ninjas.

Uchiha Izuna held the sword in his hand and turned his face towards Houra slightly.

The strong wind blew the pigtails on the back of his head to crackle and dance, which was very eye-catching. Izayoi was no exception and was distracted.

With waist-length braids, are you really not going to be pulled by an enemy in battle? He imagined that in the middle of the beating, Senju Tobirama pulled his braid, and he grabbed the white hair on Senju Tobirama's shoulders.

Tsk. The picture I made up in my mind is a bit eye-catching.

Quan Nai didn't know what the other person was thinking, so he tilted his head and made an assessment. Then he smiled and said, "That's right. You have proven your courage. Now you can tell what the mission is."

Izayoi looked at the exquisite wooden house behind him and sighed. How proud! It is precisely because of their bad temper that they are not popular with others.

"Are you interested in running a casino as a shareholder?"

Quan Nai clenched the handle of the knife, and the straw rope wrapped around the handle felt a tingling sensation. He responded in a deep voice: "Temples and shrines do not manage fields, and ninjas do not engage in business. This has been a practice since ancient times. Which nobleman sent you as a lobbyist, no need to spy anymore. The Uchiha clan can survive by relying on tasks, absolutely He will not swear allegiance to a noble like a samurai."

He said it very firmly and there was absolutely no room for change.

In the face of spies and lobbyists, this rhetoric not only showed loyalty, but also separated itself from the aristocracy. It was watertight and had no flaws.

But Izayoi is not a lobbyist or a broker, she only represents herself. The ancient custom has nothing to do with her.

"But people have to eat, and no one can survive by eating the wind and drinking the dew every day. I heard that the Uchiha clan accepted the Daimyo's invitation to move to the Land of Fire. Isn't it because the Land of Fire has more food than the Land of Thunder?"

欻!

Quan Nai drew his sword out of its sheath and put the blade on the visitor's neck with a cold expression.

"Where are you a spy?"

The corners of Izayoi's eyes drooped, and Izuna crossed the blade in cooperation. The bladed side is pressed vertically against the white skin, and with just a slight wave, the big head can fall down.

Huopu clenched his fists nervously. He was the last person on the scene who expected anything to happen. After all, you brought it yourself. If blood really comes out, you won't be able to escape punishment afterwards.

It's all his fault! His momentum was suppressed for a moment, and he was so fascinated that he believed this man's words!

Izayoi sighed and slowly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.

"Believe me, you are not the first person to point a knife at me. People who wanted to kill me before either regretted it or finally agreed to my request."

oh? Aren't you afraid of this? He's obviously just an ordinary person with some chakra. This kind of courage should be regarded as the person in charge.

Quan Nai raised an eyebrow slightly, becoming a little interested.

It’s the same sentence, but it’s not the whole story. If you want to cooperate with Uchiha, courage and strength alone are not enough, you must gain Uchiha's trust. And his trust is not so easy to gain.

"Can you give me a chance to explain?"

Izayoi keenly caught his slightest hint of looseness and was not afraid to laugh back. Probably because she has faced conflicts too many times, she has become accustomed to it, and she even enjoys the danger of dancing on the tip of a knife.

"Before we came here, there were already wave ninjas there. We can't rule out the possibility that someone will come to attack Qiu Feng later. If it's too late, there will be nothing, so the action can only be scheduled for today and tomorrow."

She cunningly changed Hashirama's gambling behavior slightly, replacing it with an ordinary ninja who was a certain threat, but not a threat to Uchiha.

This can avoid direct conflict and increase the sense of urgency in Uchiha's decision-making. Under sudden pressure, people will be more inclined to the latest resolution.

Butterfly's proposal isn't entirely correct, but it's not impossible either. It’s just that the executor needs to be changed. She doesn't have enough manpower, except for a few confidants who are placed in important positions. When it comes to negotiation and cooperation, she can only go into battle in person.

It stands to reason that this is very unsafe, especially when the opponent is Uchiha, who has a bad reputation in the ninja world. The memory of the past life can only be used as a reference, but in order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, she must confirm it with her own eyes.

In later generations of Konoha, Uchiha always had the image of a rebellious boy. So in the Warring States Period, did they really abide by the law as Izuna said?

If they really wanted to abide by the law, they wouldn't be ninjas.

Uchiha Izuna is deceiving people.

Knowing this, the subsequent persuasion work will be easier to carry out. All it takes is a reason, a good reason.

"Isn't that better? According to what you said, the casino is very powerful, so you have to find outside help. Then let Lang Nin remove the obvious threats for you. When they leave, the rest will naturally be yours."

Quan Nai remained unmoved.

Izayoi has already been exposed to what kind of person Lang Ninja is. They were a group of hyena-like scavenging humans, specifically picking on the old, weak, sick and disabled women. If it fell into their hands, life would be worse than death, and even its original shape might not be preserved.

What Izayoi wants is a complete and functional short book street, not a place to pick up trash.

"The temple doesn't manage land because it's not necessary, not because they don't have it. Ninjas only rely on tasks to live because it's the only way. How can a group of people rely on only one way to survive? Women in the countryside know that eggs can't Just put it in a basket.”

snort!

With a sharp swing of the sword, Quan Nai sheathed the sword. The back of the knife was turned over and slowly slid into the scabbard with the thumb.

He would not admit that Uchiha had other industries in private, let alone compare himself with the ignorant woman.

"I wonder if you have ever understood who are the abbots of temples and priests of shrines. Maybe Yeshe and the like are just ordinary people, but those who truly have the power to interpret the scriptures and are qualified to offer gifts to the gods are A collateral line of today’s nobility.”

"They don't have to pay taxes. In the past, they brought their own assets and had good relations with officials. Over the years, no matter how honest the temple is, they have accumulated considerable wealth. So what if they don't have land? They have money. They even accept money from believers. Consecrate the land belonging to the villagers to the name of the temple, and then hire the refugees who have lost their land to farm. Day after day, some temples can even accumulate wealth that makes the nobles jealous. When daimyo launches wars, they must seek their support. "

"But what does this have to do with Uchiha?" Quan Na asked.

He found that this woman had a deep understanding of the world and was very eloquent. The arguments she gave happened to be the reality that he had been unhappy with for a long time. However, he doesn't like this kind of person. The last person who tried to convince him that he was not dead yet was Senju Hashirama. He has always disliked people who make empty claims.

Izayoi smiled slightly.

"I mean, a monk can do it, and a ninja can do it too. I don't have force, but I have the right channels. You have the guarantee of force, but you are bound by rules. So, do you want to cooperate and give it a try?"

Quan Na was silent for a long time, looking towards the skyline with sharp eyes.

"How do you guarantee that?"

Izayoi spread his hands sincerely, exposing his throat, heart, chest and abdomen and other fatal openings.

"Promise it with my life."
