Dark Naruto's acting life

The Land of Fire, above the East China Sea.

A three-masted sailing ship loaded with cargo sailed towards the Land of Whirlpools.

Board.

Kakashi, Yamato, and Might Guy stood on the deck and looked into the distance.

Not far away, Jiraiya was sitting cross-legged on a container and talking to a middle-aged man with a big belly.

The weather is nice today, with sunshine and sea breeze.

The scenery on the sea is also very nice.

But these beautiful things could not dispel the sorrow of Kakashi and the other three.

Their mission is to retrieve the bodies of the first and second generations who are in the hands of Orochimaru.

Those two specific entities will be important materials used by the second generation to realize a certain technique. If successful, the strength of the first and second generations will be restored, and their strength will catch up to their heyday.

This is a very important event for Konoha.

After all, Konoha now relies entirely on these two to support it. The stronger they are, the safer Konoha, which has suffered a series of heavy losses, will be.

Jiraiya, who was not far away, seemed to be extremely relaxed.

He had a very pleasant chat with the middle-aged man.

"Hahaha, uncle, you really are an expert. You are so right. Listening to you talk about the characteristics of beauties from different countries really makes my heart surge. When we arrive in the Land of Whirlpools, I will definitely treat you to a few drinks." The middle-aged man laughed, patting his belly.

Jiraiya was in the same state. He said proudly, "Little brother, I have traveled to many countries for many years and have seen many beauties. I will listen to you. Let's go have a drink and then we can talk slowly."

"No problem. I'll take care of all the accommodation and meals for you and your companions." The middle-aged man said generously.

Jiraiya: "Isn't this too expensive for you? Although I am the boss of this ship, I earn my money through hard work. Just treat us to a meal, and we can do the rest ourselves."

The middle-aged man said proudly: "Hey, brother, you underestimate me. Although I am not a wealthy businessman, I still have some money. Speaking of which, I have to thank the new government of the Whirlpool Country."

Jiraiya's eyes flashed, "How can you explain this? My brother works hard in business and earns hard-earned money. What does this have to do with the government?"

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes with an unfathomable expression: "Brother, you are not an expert in this. Let me test you, what is the most important thing in doing business?"

Jiraiya held his chin with his hand and thought for a while: "Fame? Sales? Product quality? You really stumped me."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are wrong. For ordinary businessmen like us, safety is the most important thing. Think about it carefully. You are sailing and singing, with all the money you have earned but haven't had time to spend it yet, but you are robbed by pirates, bandits, horse thieves, etc. Not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but if you lose your life, wouldn't that be very unfair?"

Jiraiya nodded, "That makes sense. So what does this have to do with the new government?"

Middle-aged man: “Oh, speaking of this new government, it’s really good. As soon as the new ruler came on the scene, he dealt with the aristocracy and redistributed all the resources in the country.

The people of the Whirlpool Country are blessed. Now everyone has their own land, and they don’t have to pay taxes in the last three years. I even heard that the tax rate will be very low after three years.

Look at what it was like in the past compared to today.

When the Kingdom of Lightning was still the emperor of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the whole country was overwhelmed by the heavy taxation. Those nobles and daimyo should have spoken for their people, but in fact they colluded with the Kingdom of Lightning and exploited the people of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Even merchants like us are exploited badly. As long as we travel on this sea, we will be exploited. For example, I could make a profit of 100,000 taels for a shipload of cargo, but after passing through the Whirlpool Country, I have to pay tolls, berthing fees, trade taxes, and the Thunder God Order. After all these, my profit will be reduced by 50%. Isn't that horrible?

It was not possible not to give. Once you did not cooperate or smuggled, you would be robbed by pirates. At the very least, your money would be taken away, and at the worst, your ship would be burned and people would be killed. At that time, those of us who traveled by sea had to live very cautiously.

But now it's good. The new government of the Whirlpool Country has abolished many miscellaneous taxes. Although we still have to collect certain commercial taxes, we earn much more than before. And most importantly, the pirates nearby have been wiped out by the legendary man. From now on, we don't have to worry about pirates anymore."

Jiraiya nodded, "I see. But who is the legendary person you are talking about?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course it was Uzumaki Naruto-sama. Although on the surface it was the Uzumaki clan that restored the country and cleaned up the country's morale, I heard some inside information that the legendary Naruto-sama was the mastermind behind all these changes."

Jiraiya frowned and said, "I've heard of Uzumaki Naruto, but I heard that his reputation is not very good and he is a disgrace to the ninja world. Can such a person be trusted?"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully, "The shame of the ninja world? Don't be ridiculous, brother. Even if he is the shame of the ninja world, what does it have to do with ordinary people like you and me? As long as he continues to maintain the policies of the Whirlpool Country, I will support him even if he is a monster and respect him like a god. Tsk, brother, to be honest, although I am from the Fire Country, if this country can maintain this state for a few years, I will buy a house and settle down in the Whirlpool Country."

Jiraiya asked curiously, "Why?"

The middle-aged man: "Needless to ask? Of course I am optimistic about the development of this country. There are no high taxes, no aristocratic oppression, and the national policy of the Whirlpool Country is 'fairness, justice, people-oriented, and equality for all'. As long as we stick to this path, this place will sooner or later become a paradise that everyone yearns for. However, we still have to observe how it will turn out. After all, the new government has only been in office for a month, so we have to wait and see how it turns out."

Somehow, after Jiraiya finished talking to this person, he felt a little relieved.

At least, Naruto didn't go astray.

At the same time, more curiosity arose in his heart.

What on earth does Naruto want to do?

Afterwards, the middle-aged man had to handle official business. Jiraiya said hello and watched him leave.

Then, Kakashi and the other two came over.

Jiraiya told the three of them the information he had learned.

Several people have different thoughts.

……

The Whirlpool Country is destined to become the center of the storm.

After the Whirlpool Country was pacified, many people sent spies and intelligence personnel to intervene to obtain the movements of the organization headed by Uzumaki Naruto.

The Fire Nation is like this.

So does everyone else.

While the Konoha people were still on the road, a ship carrying envoys from the Wind Country had already docked at the pier of March Rain City.

Four people got off the boat.

These four people dressed up as ninjas.

After getting off the boat, several people followed the instructions and went to the registration office.

Here, someone took photos of them, and then everyone registered their names and origins one by one.

Finally, they filled in the last two words in the column of the purpose of visiting the Whirlpool Country.

——Looking for relatives.
